'Tho arm IIO arm S3" is connected with another of said le-. vers 20f bythe rod SG, which has a loop SG in the end that engages said arm, and so permits a limited movement of the rod before the arm is actuated. The arm Sb is also provided with a spring S7, which is connected by a rod S7 to the lower side ot' the arm and to a standard of the frame A, and the tendency of thespringis to hold the carriage and cylinder in position for lower-ease type The levers 20, with which the rods 85 and SG are attached, are connected with the transmitting mechanism opposite the upper rind lower case characterson the dial C, so that when the pointer 23 is opposite the upper-ease character on the dial and the key depressed the lever 20, connecting with the sending mechanism opposite said character, willbe depressed, thus depressing the rod 85 tilting` the sleeve S3, and actuating the arm S3, thereby moving the carriage backwardly and bringing the cylinder 55 into position to receive up per-case type. When the pointer 23 is opposite the lower-case character .t the dial and the key 25 is depressed, this action will be reversed, the rod S6 will be depressed, the sleeve S3 turned on its pivot, and the arm 83 and earriage 5i brought forward,bringing the cylinder into position to print lower-case type. A dogSS is centrally pivoted to a depending` lug S9 of the traine A above the arm 83h, said dog having at one end a heel: 8S to engage the end of the arm 83", and having the other end provided with a spring' connecting above with the frame, and which serves to hold the dog-hook in engagement with the arm Sl.' ri rod 90 is pivoted to the inner end or" the dog,I SS and extends downwardly therefrom and is pvoted at its lower endto the rod 8G. It will thus be seen that when the rod S5 is depressed to throw the carriage into position for upper-case pri nting,r the. hook 88 of the dog S8 will engage the arm 83h and hold the parts in this position till the rod Sb is depressed to put the machine in position for lower-case p 1inline, when the rod 00 will thus be actuated and will depress the inner end of the dog SaS-and release the hook SS from the arm 83h, thus` permitting the necessary movement of the carriage.

A vertical .frame Jl pivoted in suitable supports 920i' the traine A,said trame having being connected with the saine mechanism as' the levers 20, the mechanism being arranged opposite a character 93 on the dial marked ilinespacef so that when tho pointer 23 is lu'ought opposite said character and the key,A

25 depressed the lever connected with the frame 9i will be depressed and the frame thrown against ihelevr-r 1'32,thus actuatin g,r the the gong (il, which is the VOrdinar',7 typefwriter gong; but a heavier one maY be substituted, it desired. The lever 20 is 'conntcted with the same mechanism as the levers 20, so that to sound the gong'it is only necessary to turn the pointer opposite the space marked .llell on the dial and depress the ltey when the lever 2U will be tilted and the hammer J5 forced against the gone". bell mechanism is to give notice that a nies` sage is about to he or has been transmitted. The machine is`providcd. with the `usual crossbar 06, extendiinf.;l beneath the levtrs 2O and the rods !)7,levers 9S, and connecting-rod 99, connecting with the pawl 5ft, so that every 'time one ot' the levers is operated the carriage moves one letter-spaee.

r[he dial-space i has a character 7? thereen, which is marked with letters to indicate that it represents a space-key, and opposite this character is the same operating mechanism that is arranged oplwsite the other chailrlhe object of the i acters of the diahsaid mechanism connecting with the space-levers 2H", ot `the type-writer, which are arranged in the usual manner, so that by bringingthc pointer 21)' opposite the character TT4 and depressing.;` the key L5 the space-lever ol? theI type-writer will be operated.

The following' nlechiinism is employed to return thevearriage and cylinder to the let't ot the machine after a line has been printed and the paper turned up a line-space: A lever 20 is arranged parallel. with the levers 2t), so as to extend beneath the dial (l, and the end ot' the lever beneath the dials` provided with the same mechanism as the other levers, said mechanism being arranged opposite a character 100 on the dial, which is marked Return carriage, or with words crlettcrs of similar import'. The lever 5204 is pvotcd at the point 7o instead of at .7st, and is pivot-ed at its rear end to a vertical rod 10i, which cx tendsy up the back side ot' the machine and has a pawl lili? pivoted to its upper ond adapted to engage the notches on 'the upper edge of the rack 5 The rod ltll provided near its lower end with a boss 101i, which is insulated from thc rod and is com nected with one ot the wires '10i ol an ordi- .nary electric battery l05.
